UAC Contingency Fund

What this funds

The Refugee and Entrant Assistance account supports services for certain groups of people who have entered the country by helping them to become employed and self-sufficient as quickly as possible. It also supports care and services for unaccompanied minors who are members of those groups or are Special Immigrant Juveniles or U-visa holders. As a result of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, the account also is responsible for coordinating and implementing the care and placement of unaccompanied alien children (UAC) who are apprehended by immigration authorities. The FY 2027 request for Refugee and Entrant Assistance is $3.58 billion. This Administration has put an end to open borders and the influx of illegal immigrants, while significantly reducing the number of refugee arrivals, only admitting those who are thoroughly vetted by the Trump Administration's standards and who can fully assimilate and quickly become self-sufficient. The Budget funds initial costs to resettle select refugees, which will be overseen by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within ACFC as the Program of Initial Resettlement. Presidential Determination No. 2025-14 transferred this program to ORR from Department of State as of September 30, 2025, centralizing the responsibility for all domestic resettlement under a single federal agency. Specifically, ORR will provide initial shelter, food, and other necessities to refugees and Special Immigrant Visa holders. Although costs for this activity are allocated between Transitional and Medical Services and Refugee Support Services (RSS), additional detail is provided in the RSS section.
